Hello and welcome to my blog! I'm Irene, the lead planner at Irene + Co Events based in the beautiful state of Utah. With nearly a decade of experience, my dedicated team and I specialize in crafting unforgettable weddings, spanning across the country. Throughout our journey, we've encountered every twist and turn imaginable in the wedding planning process. Here, I'm excited to share insights, tips, and advice gleaned from our wealth of experience to help make your special day truly extraordinary.
Exploring the Best Photo Booth Options for Your Wedding or Event
I adore photo booths just as much as the next person, but did you know there are even more exciting options available? Don't settle for a standard Polaroid camera tucked away in the corner—create unforgettable memories!
Introducing the 360 Photo Booth—embrace the glamour of the Oscars! This digital marvel captures panoramic videos and instantly texts them to your guests. By the end of the event, you'll receive all the photos via email, ensuring you never miss a moment. Transforming a 12x12 ft space into a hub of excitement, this setup guarantees a lively experience for both you and your guests. Here's a glimpse of the magic from a wedding we orchestrated in 2022.
Classic Photo Strip Experience
Transport yourself back to the nostalgic charm of the 2000s mall photo booths with a Classic Photo Strip service brought directly to your wedding venue! Capture timeless memories with your friends and loved ones as you pose for the camera. Many companies offer personalized photo strip designs tailored to your wedding theme, adding a unique touch to your special day. Enhance the experience by providing bookmark sleeves for your guests to cherish their photo strips forever.
Live Red Carpet Experience
Indulge your guests in the ultimate VIP treatment with a Live Red Carpet Experience! Elevate your cocktail hour by hiring a photographer and setting up a beautifully customized backdrop for your guests to make a grand entrance. For an extra touch of glamour, consider hiring multiple photographers to create an authentic paparazzi atmosphere. Check out this stunning setup we curated for a private Tony Awards viewing party!
Pro Tip: Prioritize Your Backdrop
Don't underestimate the importance of the backdrop—it's the key to encouraging guest participation! Make it a focal point, not an afterthought. Invest in a design that complements your wedding style, with guidance from your trusted wedding planner.
Live Character Artist Experience
Ditch traditional photos and opt for something truly special: a live character artist! Offer your guests the opportunity to have their portraits sketched on the spot. This unique and nostalgic option is sure to surprise and delight your guests. Surprisingly, this option can sometimes be more cost-effective than renting photography equipment.
